Tyven

Of the free people
of the Reflected Worlds, the Tyven are one of the more recent. They
were created during the fifth age by Morphael. He wanted a race of
spies that could move through the wilderness with the cunning of the
quick fox, but had the intelligence and
mind of a human. So he blended humans with the fox, and threw in a
few other things and came up with a race called the Tyven.
Unfortunately (for Morphael) they were a bit too clever and the whole
idea of being under the control of someone went against their nature,
so they planned and executed an escape from Morphael’s control and
declared their race free. Over the past few hundred years they have
developed into their own societies. These stand aside from the
current rule of the Eyes of Darkness, yet they do not actively oppose
the Citadel. However, they hate Morphael for trying to enslave them
and actively battle against his rule. The Citadel treats the Tyven
under the old saying, ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’, and
so they tolerate the Tyven settlements on what they consider Citadel
lands.
